Property taxes and insurance

The No. 1 priority for our legislators in this session was fixing the homeowner's insurance and property tax issues. They talked quite a lot, but did nothing.

In the case of insurance, the problem seems to be they can't find a way to be fair to the homeowners that will be approved by their more important constituency -- the insurance industry.

Their problem with property taxes seems to be they love the increased collections and they want to keep spending while appearing to cut taxes.

Make a list of those in power and make sure they are all voted out as they come up for election. Keep voting them out until the message gets through: The constituency to worry about is the people, not the insurance lobby. The people want their money back!
